ICEBlock pulled from App Store by Apple following Trump Administration pressure

Apple said on Thursday that it had removed ICEBlock and other similar ICE-tracking apps from its App Store after it was contacted by President Donald Trump‘s administration, in a rare instance of apps being taken down due to a U.S. federal government demand.

The app alerts users to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area, which the Justice Department says could increase the risk of assault on U.S. agents.
